EPISODE TWENTY-ONE

It was just six weeks until their wedding date in early June, and Damilola and Sola had still not settled on the venue for their wedding. They couldn’t hold down Dami’s first or second choices for the reception, because they hadn’t been able to come up with the deposit on time. Sola was yet to come clean to Dami about his financial situation, and she was growing more anxious as the wedding drew closer.

“Okay… If we scrap the IVs and reduce the guestlist by half, we should be able to afford the hall near the church?” Dami said.

She was brainstorming cost-cutting ideas with Sola, her sister, Ayo, her mother, and his sister, Tola. She hated all the compromises she was making so the wedding would happen. It was looking less like the wedding of her dreams and more like a financial disaster. If she was still going to end up broke afterwards, she wanted to have a beautiful memorable day to show for it at least.

“But you will have to bring your own chairs, tables, and deco,” Ayo said. “Why don’t we just have it at home and get some canopies outside? It can still look nice…”

“And tacky!” Dami interjected. Their home was a small three-bedroom house in Anthony Village, with an even smaller compound. A wedding at their home couldn’t possibly cater for 100 guests, and where would they all park anyway? The streets were narrow and crowded with parked cars already. Having a wedding at her home was out of the question. She would even settle for having no reception at all than suffer the stress and embarrassment.

Sola adjusted his shirt, feeling very hot and sweaty. He was in way over his head. He still hadn’t gotten the things he needed to get for the traditional wedding. He also still needed to gather and kit his groomsmen, though he didn’t think he had the money for his own suit. Why was he even getting married?
